Identify iris-like plant: Anstea

Posted by billyet 8-9 Mobile Al (My Page) on

I have a beautiful blue flowered plant that looks more like an Iris or Day-lily than anything else: however, the flowers are shaped more like compositae, not resembling iris. The plant itself looks like an iris with long leaves, flat at the base. The name I have for it is Anstea. Does anyone know anything about this plant? I can't find it anywhere on the net.
thanks, will appreciate anything you can tell me

RE: Identify iris-like plant: Anstea

Billye - I am just looking around the net and couldn't find much with the name you provided. But could it be some sort of candy lily? They come in various colours, though the colour in the photo at the link I provided is not blue, there are some blue shades available and they due have some similarities to irises. See what you think.

Here is a link that might be useful: is this it?

Billyie I see where the bulb forum was able to help you id the plant. I am glad you found the correct name is aristea ecklonii. Barbra,
